Success Story
Q- Meccanica is a professional solar engineering design firm that specializes in renewable energy and caters exclusively to the US market. The company focuses on mechanical, and structural engineering design for battery energy storage solutions, solar PVs, combined heat and power, fuel cell, and microgrid systems, tailored to fit their clients’ energy requirements. Q-Meccanica’s team of engineering experts are well-versed in providing diverse solar technologies proven to achieve sustainability and cost-efficiency through leveraging renewable energy. Since the firm’s conception, they have been maximizing the design and automation capabilities of Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit for 3D design modeling and visualization. What’s holding them back from being fully productive is the lack of a unified team collaboration and storage platform that is compatible with Autodesk file formats, as they still need to use other applications in order to collaborate with each team member.
Despite the forecasted supply constraints and rising material costs for solar construction projects, the solar industry is still expected to grow in the coming years and Q-Meccanica aims to get a large share of the market. The company aspires to expand the scope of their services, not just focusing on solar design, but they also aim to venture into electrical plant and structural plant design in the near future. They have already accomplished countless successful projects with the use of Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit alone. They look forward in building partnerships with architectural firms and work with them in the early design stages in terms of building energy analysis to recommend the right solar technology solutions that will guarantee long-term sustainability. While their projects slowed down at the onset of the pandemic, Q-Meccanica is optimistic that with the right skills and expertise as well as the innovative tools provided by Autodesk will help them engage with more customers.
As they continue to explore ways to improve the quality of their work and project delivery, Q- Meccanica is very eager to deepdive into digital transformation by fully utilizing their Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction collection. This will allow a more efficient design workflow and seamless remote collaboration amongst team members. With remote work becoming today’s norm, accessibility to project data regardless of time and location is critical to meet their project goals at the expected timeline. The availability of the advanced software and consistent technology updates from Autodesk allowed their team to produce quality drawings, work efficiently and communicate design plans with their customers. With the expansion plans in place, they are confident that Autodesk solutions will consistently secure their competitive edge as design innovations are significant in working smarter and winning more projects.
Q- Meccanica highlights the visualization capabilities of Autodesk Revit that enables them to communicate design intent to customers more effectively. Knowing the real-life representations of their solar systems helped their customers’ key stakeholders to speed up their decision and buying processes. While Autodesk AutoCAD has significantly helped their design team in coming up with precise drawings, Autodesk Revit has functionalities that are incomparable with a 2D software. Autodesk Revit enabled them to eliminate time consuming and manual processes, especially in large-scale projects. This significantly improved their overall productivity and team performance. Additionally, Autodesk Revit has also been proven to be much more scalable, which is highly evident in the projects that they have produced in the past. The subscription scheme also gave their team the flexibility to access required software easier and faster compared with the previous licensing setup.
Q-Meccanica has been extremely satisfied with the excellent support that CIM and Autodesk has been providing them through the years. The regular software updates and training from the team keeps them proficient and equipped with the essential knowledge and industry-leading strategies in order to fulfill project requirements and meet customer expectations. Moving forward, they are aiming to tap a larger portion of the solar market size in the US, and possibly in the Philippines. Additionally, they are counting on more advantages that the rest of the tools within the Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction collection will provide their team. As they value the importance of flexibility in today’s work environment more than ever, they are looking forward to how the collaboration tools and common data platform from Autodesk can enhance their overall design and coordination processes. After all, in order to thrive in the dynamic industries such as Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction collection, engineering firms like Q-Meccanica need an equally agile toolset.

MEP Philippines Eyes BIM Transformation
Early on, the MEP Philippines began to realise the cumbersome nature of traditional 2D drawings, which, while easy to produce, gave an incomplete picture of the construction. They also had a traditional workflow where they had to send the model to the client for viewing, which was not the most efficient way to collaborate. These are some of the main reasons that led to the company-wide transformation of BIM.
Autodesk Propels EEI Corporation’s Juggernaut Project into a New Direction
EEI Corporation is recognized as one of the leading construction companies in the Philippines, known for the quality of its work and the excellence of its workforce. It has the broadest range of construction and engineering services, with expertise in the construction of large-scale heavy and light industrial projects, infrastructure, and property development projects all over the world.Over the years, EEI has built several power plants, refineries, petrochemical plants, cement plants, mining facilities, industrial plants, buildings, schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, seaports, airports, railways, water distribution stations, flood control systems, steel structures and modular assemblies.EEI Corporation is recognized as one the Philippines’ leading general contractors, but even they have not been spared the challenges posed by the pandemic. As EEI’s personnel started working from home, it was fortunate that EEI began using digital communication and collaboration even before the pandemic, as an alternative to traditional collaboration around printed engineering drawings.
Autodesk Helps Saycon Win Major Local and International Design and Construction Projects
Strength isn’t always in numbers. Established in 2002, Saycon Ventures, a small but very capable design and construction firm has been creating waves not only in the local AEC scene, but internationally as well. The twenty year old firm specializes in the design and construction of vertical structures such as commercial and residential buildings and industrial structures, which are mostly plant designs for international manufacturing companies located in Korea, Thailand, Austria and Germany. Previously, Saycon lagged behind their deadlines due to the inefficiency of their design tools, which led to delays in other aspects of their workflows especially in detailing, model enhancement and visualization. Every aspect of their design process was improved when they started subscribing to Autodesk.
